Product Description
Nearly 400km in length, and ranging between 400m and 2000m above sea level, the exhilarating Great Apennines Trek (GEA) spends just over three weeks criss-crossing the central-north section of the range, following routes established by long-gone invaders and traders, and trodden by pilgrims and shepherds since time immemorial. Dipping in and out of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, the trek makes its way northwest up Italy traversing two national parks dotted with pretty lakes.

Best journey I've ever taken August 10, 2010
Ed
This book led me on possibly the most wonderful backpacking trip I've ever taken. Starting in Sansepolcro and making my way to Montecasale, I saw beautiful mountains and charming villages along this charming path filled with magical moments. The journey gave a unique view of an unspoiled part of the country.
The book isn't excellent for navigation purposes, and you'll definitely want to purchase some topographical hiking maps, but these are available in almost any bookstore in most of the towns along the route. The long detailed introduction was extremely helpful for planning and convincing me that this was the hike for me. Descriptions of attractions and lodging along the way were spot on and wonderfully descriptive.
